My journey into parent coaching began long before I ever became a parent myself. Growing up without the support or guidance a child needs and deserves gave me a deep understanding of what it means to want more for your own family. That experience became the fuel behind my commitment to learning, healing, and creating a different path for my own children.

I became the first in my family to graduate from college, earning degrees in Communication and Early Childhood Development. Driven by a desire to truly understand children - not just in theory, but in practice - I pursued certification as a Montessori educator. Those years in the classroom, both before and after raising my own children, became foundational. 

For more than 25 years, I served as a Montessori Head Teacher, trained educators, and supported hundreds of families in navigating the challenges of raising their children with confidence. Throughout those years, I relied on the same Parenting on Purpose principles I used at home, principles that shaped my own two children into grounded, connected adults. 

Wanting to support families beyond the classroom, I completed my certification through the Jai Institute for Parenting. Today, I bring together decades of professional teaching experience, personal growth, and lived compassion to help parents create the relationships they truly want with their children.

I know firsthand that parenting differently than you were raised is possible. And sometimes, all it takes is a few intentional shifts to completely transform the connection in your home. I would be honored to support you on that journey.
